  • New enough. Long enough for 5 times expansion from just under 3,000 charters to just over 22,000 (only 15,000 needed to qualify). Article is well sourced, including the hook. No Image for main page. Image in article in Commons licensed as Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 QPQ done. NPOV throughout. Earwig and spot checking found no copyvio or plagiarism issues. Lean towards original hook and ALT0a. Good to go. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 14:35, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
  • Jon698 Doug Coldwell The hook isn't in the source. The source says, "For legislative leaders say is the first time since Wyoming joined the Union..." SL93 (talk) 03:45, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
  • To make things clear, my issue is that Wyoming's history extends before it even became a state and the source mentions that point as well. SL93 (talk) 03:50, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
  • Thanks. I also added it to the article. SL93 (talk) 10:34, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
